    I dunno about that, all I have to do is look at southern califorina then remember that many homes have high to very high levels of lead in the drinking water.

    ...and you haven't edited the article to add the information you sought because...why?

    Probably the same reason most of us don't bother, because some yahoo has the article set to page them the second that someone edits it. They then jump up and down and revert it while throwing a hissy fit in the talk section.

    Zing! And you missed it, and having listened to the entire bit about that little presentation, it's exactly the same. One is the media saying "listen and believe, don't examine" the other is a person which the media is giving clout to saying "listen and believe, don't examine."

    Perhaps you'd like to explain the differences between a person which the media gives clout and refuses to examine her claims, and the media running with exactly the claims that aren't examined.

    So because they don't agree with you, they must not be well informed. Brilliant logic, Sparky!

    Who said anything about agreement? I'm talking about restricting speech to walls, "safe zones," "trigger warnings on lectures," "disrupting lectures by trying to shout down people" "pulling fire alarms because of subject matter they don't like." Perhaps you should spend a bit more time looking at exactly how messed up millennials are. And boy are they messed up.

    ...people will eventually listen and believe.

    Funny enough "listen and believe" is one of Anita Sarkisian's prime points, don't think just listen and believe. And people wonder why there's an entire generation of fucked up people out there.

    Millennials are the same group marching along trying to restrict speech on campuses. Saying that they're better informed seems to be off by a fair bit.

    I'm not gonna defend that shit, but who was the one who took the ancestral land of a people, forcibly evicted them, and forces them to live in poverty in what is basically a huge open-air prison camp? It's not Hamas. Don't act as if Israel didn't start this shit, they did.

    Then you'd best learn some history. After all, the ones who didn't run and stayed in Israel are citizens to this day. Mainly Druze, the ones who ran when the arab countries said "we're going to kill every jew there, and you'll get the land afterwards" are the ones that are living in your 'open-air' camps that have a standard of living beyond what most do in the other arab countries.

    What's Mercury got to do with vaccines?

    Not much really. Hell they used to let kids play with mercury in science class, even allowing them to put it on their skin. Those were the kids in the 40's 50's and 60's and it turned out fairly well, I mean we did have that fuckup with the 70's but we seem to have done okay.

    I keep hearing that, and every time I look up for factual information on it I end up on a deadend of sites, or non-existent papers, or articles in non-scholarly journals. And considering I've been digging through this off and on for the last 20 years, and always end up at the same state, that leads me to believe that it's simply being used as a hyped up bit of propaganda work. I'm not saying there aren't extinctions, I'm saying that they're not at the level that people claim it is.

    You know, much similar to the end of the world, or global warming will cause the earth to have no ice caps by 2000(said in early 70s and again in the 90s), or the arctic ocean will be free of ice by 2010(early 80s), or New York City will be like Ft. Lauderdale by 1995(said in late 60s).

    As someone who was prescribed acetaminophen with codeine(Tylenol 3) as a starter treatment for migraines I can say in my experience it does both. In the last 15 years I've since moved onto ultram and fiorinal c 1/2 which is it's own fucked up ball of wax. Why this is news though I have no idea, it was well known in the 1920's an 30's that both acetaminophen and codeine depressed the nervous system and they used it to treat shell shocked troops.

    The CRTC has been slapping bell into the dirt for a while as it stands. The federal government has in turned threatened to rip their mandate away and create a new federal agency if they didn't smarten the hell up. There is also a huge problem where bell was caught influencing news broadcasts to be favorable to them as they own CTV. Bell has tried a bunch of shit over the last couple of years, and people, government, and even bureaucracy has had enough.

    Except 'online gaming' is far from useless. I use it(along with regular gaming) as part of my pain management under the recommendation of my neurologist and pain specialist. It helps reduce the amount of addicting narcotics I need to take, which in my book is a good thing. The reality is, some people can have a problem with anything. I rank 'internet addiction' far below actual social/societal problems in terms of things that should be looked at. You know, like poverty, substance abuse, general run of the mill abuse, malnutrition, etc., this entire thing comes off as the 'new boogeyman' that someone thought would be great to rally around so government busybodies look like they're doing something.

    Oh noes. They got money from the Koches and Donors trust! How dare they, after all it's not like George Soros hasn't dumped massive amounts of money into think tanks and all the rest. For someone who claims to 'know all this' you're pretty ignorant of what the other side does, that is exactly the same.

    Okay, and her getting her play there is a problem why? Oh, I see it doesn't fit your ideological agenda which means that it's bad, in turn if it doesn't fit that means they're not your particular brand of xyz person. How very polarizing of you.

    Can you show actual proof that gamergate has misogynist histories? $20 says that you'll drop the same articles where the authors, belonging to said organizations have come out saying that they knew it wasn't, but did it because it 'sold the story better.' You know, like the CBC and then there's other organizations that said the same thing. Then again, if you consider today's version of feminism to be egalitarian where many of the most vocal voices call for gendercide and whine about first world problems, you're a perfect fit for it.
